• text length - the amount of material to be translated is measured by the number of characters, or keystrokes, in the text, including spaces. The amount of text on a printed page may vary depending on the font size and line spacing, and the number of images or illustrations. To calculate the amount of text, Word word processor is an excellent tool, or you can import PDF or other files. In all cases, we count the characters and prepare a translation quotation based on the exact amount of text before we submit a quotation.
• languages - the more commonly used languages have lower margins, but we also strive for the best value for money for the less common languages.
• specialised fields - it is important to use the right terminology consistently in medical, marketing, financial, legal or technical translations, so specialist translations are always done by experts in these fields. Sometimes this also has an impact on the translation price.
• deadline - the amount of material is the main factor determining when a translation can be completed. While priority work is seen as a rush job and will cost extra, less urgent translations can be completed at a discounted rate.

We believe that the quality of the translation should not be a factor in the price. Of course, if a proofread final translation, reviewed by several translators, is required, this may change the price, but we always aim for the best value for money. However, the final cost of the translation can be reduced in several ways.

• longer time, better price - if there is no need for an urgent, quick translation, this can have a positive impact on the bottom line. It is worth thinking about when you need the translation done and, if possible, ordering it early. This can significantly reduce the cost of translation.
• shorter text, lower cost - the cost of translation will be lower if the document to be translated is shorter. If there are parts of the text that do not necessarily need to be translated, such as tables, footnotes, etc., it is worth indicating this when requesting a quote, so that the translation price can be reduced.
• volume and corporate discounts - the more you spend, the bigger the discount you get when you order. For long-term translation jobs, we can guarantee a lower price with our framework contract discount.

Our returning clients confirm that we have been providing our partners with one of the best value-for-money translation services for almost two decades.
